This Philips one has a 4 hour battery @ £79.99. It's one of the few that has a battery that lasts longer than 2.5 hours.

Note: Don't know if it matters but the top cover is white (not obvious from the photo).

That Philips is fantastic for the price - the build quality, screen and sound are far superior to the cheap highstreet brands (e.g. Tevion, Accoustic Solutions, Wharfedale).

One thing though - I don't think it has Divx playback, which is a shame.

Toshiba portable dvd players are nice - they all have good battery life and Divx. I recently bought a nearly new Toshiba SDP1880SE from Ebay for £50 delivered - absolutely fantastic. Ebay is probably the way to go if you want a cheap one with DivX - they are about £100-130 retail.
